Docket

*1 Before: LEAVY, W. FLETCHER, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.

Andrew M. Hunter and Angela A. Hunter appeal from the Tax Court’s order dismissing for lack of jurisdiction their action related to their tax liability for tax years 2012 and 2013. We have jurisdiction under 26 U.S.C. § 7482(a). We review de novo, Gorospe v. Comm ’ r , 451 F.3d 966, 968 (9th Cir. 2006), and we affirm. *2 The Tax Court properly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over the petition because the petition was not filed within 90 days of the notice of deficiency. See 26 U.S.C. § 6213(a) (establishing a 90-day requirement for appealing a notice of deficiency); 26 U.S.C. § 7502(a)(2) (timely mailing treated as timely filing “only if . . . deposited in the mail in the United States in an envelope . . . properly addressed to the agency . . . ”); Gorospe , 451 F.3d at 968 (the Tax Court is a court of limited jurisdiction, and its subject matter is determined by Title 26 of the United States Code).

AFFIRMED.
